Alright, this will make the third person in the four person group that has responded to the thread that Adlerian posted concerning our activities last night. YES, we were pling. YES, it was a character that was just sitting there. YES, one person was playing multiple accts. YES, it was expressed to us that it was unfair if we did not offer to do the same to other chars.
Why would we do this for someone that we don't know? As was stated, one person was playing both of his accts, and had one of his chars sitting at a safe spot so he did not have to run around with them. All of our chars died at least once last night due to the fact that we were all soloing in a group setting. Which, according to TheAdlerian's form of logic would also be considered a form of pl'ing since there is no risk on the exp that is coming in from the mobs that someone else is killing. We did experience drawbacks to the amt of exp that the main chars were getting due to the fact that the SK'er was in group (yes, we know about the other exploit). How is this in itself an exploit. if you would like, we could use the sidekick option and run around with everyone. At which point, the friend that was playing two chars would have to pay off double debt if something did go bad. I don't blame him at all for leaving his char somewhere else safe and not risking it on at least one of his chars.
My question I guess, is what is this concern to you. You did not have anything better to do with your time than sit there for an hour straight and complain to us? Play the game, enjoy yourself.
Btw, all of the ones that you are complaining about last night have at least two level 32+ chars. We have been through the lower levels multiple times the legit way. And to be honest, if you have problems with leveling, you should analyze the way your are leveling and the mobs you are killing. We have also played since beta, and have played chars to a level close to that in beta as well.
There are some classes that will need to be sidekicked no matter what if they are to preform in a group setting. Controllers/Defenders will always have problems with cc/heals if they are not of the level that the group is fighting at. Sk'ing is a legitimate option for them, but it was also instituted to help broaden the player base. Different classes are going to level faster. By having that option to SK, you keep the player base happy. They can find a group, even if they have to SK with some higher levels to do so.
Nothing will be done about the SK feature that has not already been done. Learn to live with it, or turn a blind eye.
And to be honest, I really don't care what you think. For someone who does not think it is fair for pl'ing to exist, you sure did whine an awful lot last night about not being able to get in.
